This is greater than something 3 days before the Japan crisis? What does this mean?

[link to solarham.com] Flux: The 20:00 utc 10.7cm Solar Flux reading in Penticton, BC was 158.2. This is a brand new record for Solar Cycle 24. The previous best was 155 on March 8, 2011. It should be noted that the 22:00 utc Flux reading was 173.5, however this was an enhanced reading due to a Solar Flare in progress at time of measurement.

"As of 10:30 p.m. EDT on Sept. 23, 2011, the orbit of UARS was 85 miles by 90 miles (135 km by 140 km). Re-entry is expected between 11:45 p.m. Friday, Sept. 23, and 12:45 a.m., Sept. 24, Eastern Daylight Time (3:45 a.m. to 4:45 a.m. GMT). During that time period, the satellite will be passing over Canada and Africa, as well as vast areas of the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian oceans. The risk to public safety is very remote."

I have a bit of a headache as ive been on the puter too long today, so forgive me for not reading back, but did we just have another Xflare or is the X from the other day hitting us now?

I put a link up to SYZYGYJOB. And it was said (on the link) that it's not so much the size of the flare, but the duration that was important. I got worried about the radiation, or what he means by this.

I'm no rocket scientist, HI NIN. WE know this lady is smart!! Clumsy but smart. LOL

So what say some of you brainiacs here.

We have had many long duration flares as of late, and with the ribbon and all and the new material? Sun actions and monster flare what do ya think?

hahaha yes a bit clumsy ^^

well i for one say its all connected and innerconnecteda LDE M flare is much worse than a quick X1 that spikes then drops right awaybut i believe it is the CMEs that we should all keep a closer eye on as i believe they are what could cause the most damage

for the past day or so i`m flickering around elenin and our solar storms for the coming days or weeks maybe

"Outbursts from comets at great distances from the Sun seem to be correlated with a sudden change in the solar 'wind' plasma environment due to a solar storm. The point about sudden comet outbursts is that we are dealing with a sudden, discontinuous process of plasma discharge - a switch from dark current mode to normal glow mode. It is a complex surface phenomenon that cannot be predicted. The best we can do is to say that the passage of a sudden change in the solar wind is the most likely time to see a flareup."

re: comet holmes:

The sun had been electrically active in the days before the "explosion". Upon investigation of data from the ACE satellite, Michael Mozina noticed that there was a large spike in the density of the solar wind on October 22 at 19:45, (see below) two days before the infamous flareup. This spike likely switched the comet into normal glow mode and allowed it to grow. Once in normal glow mode, the plasma coma does not require a sustained voltage to maintain that mode.
